Garth Brooks, Papa Loved Mama (1992)
^{Key: :[C] (w: Garth Brooks, Kim Williams)}

VERSE 1:
[C7] Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it [F7] drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
The [G7] part she couldn't handle was the being alone
I guess she [G#] needed more to hold than just a [G7] telephone

VERSE 2:
[C7] Papa called mama each and every night
Just to [F7] ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
[G7] Mama would wait for that call to come in
But when [G#] daddy'd hang up she was [G7] gone again [C7]

CHORUS 1:
[F7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[C7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[F7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [F7 open] men
[Cm open] Mama's in the graveyard [G7] papa's in the [C7] pen

VERSE 3:
Well it was [C7] bound to happen and one night it did
[F7] Papa came home and it was just us kids
He [G7] had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was [G#] looking to surprise us she was [G7] doing fine

VERSE 4:
I [C7] heard him cry for mama up and down the hall
Then I [F7] heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That [G7] old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa [G#] fired it up and headed [G7] into town [C7]

CHORUS 2:
[F7] Well the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
[C7] Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
[F7] The desk clerk said he saw it all [F7 open] real clear
He never [Cm open] hit the breaks and he was [G7] shifting [C7] gears

CHORUS 1:
[F7] Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
[C7] Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
[F7] Papa loved mama, mama loved [F7 open] men
[Cm open] Mama's in the graveyard [G7] papa's in the [C7] pen
